| - Other than the High Roller, this is probably the biggest landmark on the LINQ Promenade and it certainly is a huge place once you get up the escalators inside.
Brooklyn Bowl is a House of Blues meets Lucky Strike in my opinion, although the menu is heavily soul food influenced.
I'll admit it. The main reason I came in the first time was for the fried chicken dinner and it was extremely filling.
The chicken itself was good, but I'm not sure it was worthy of some of the lofty praise that I've heard on TV and here on Yelp. And I even dipped some of that chicken in a mixture of honey and hot sauce that was the in-house recommendation to add even more flavor.
I might even argue that the collard greens were the best thing on my plate. They were simply sensational. No complaints on my mashed potatoes and gravy either.
There was even a second trip back down the promenade to try the Chicken Muffaleta (Never saw that anywhere else on a menu), but Brooklyn Bowl was sadly closed entirely that night for a private event.
While I didn't bowl or attend a concert, I would certainly do either here and think it would be very enjoyable.
They have an afternoon Happy Hour and another starting at midnight with half-priced drafts and appetizer specials. And if you find a young lady named Angela working one of the bars, stop right there, sit down and enjoy her sweet smile and excellent service.
Not that I had one, but PBR drafts are way overpriced at Brooklyn Bowl. Honestly, if you're going to ask for over $6 for that beer...there really is no reason to even have it on tap.
And just as I was finishing dinner, they started up karaoke and I honestly couldn't pay my check fast enough. While I dislike karaoke anywhere, the volume here was way too loud considering I was sitting nowhere near where they were doing it.
